Flowers Christmas Party
Saturday, Dec 8 at Flushing Township Hall (same place as in the recent past)
Planning to start a little earlier this year – 2:00 pm – and eat about 3:30pm
Bring a wrapped gift for your kids – we think Santa may show up again. We will plan some games and activities for the kids too!
We will need to get the $$$ fund back up. The summer picnic cost was more than we collected. We got a couple of requests to do the live auction like we did in past years. Greg has volunteered to be auctioneer. Each family should bring 2-3 rummage sale type gifts – nice things or funny stuff – either wrapped or in a paper bag. Oh yea, identify on the outside of the wrap or bag if what’s inside is for a child, adult, male, female or any-any. We will do a 50-50 drawing also !
I had a lot of paper and plastic products left over from this summer that I can bring – so we should be OK for that stuff.
Bring beverages for your family and a dish to pass. Each adult couple or single adult (if you don’t have a significant other) should bring something for the potluck.
Last thing – I need some volunteers to help notify everyone, find out who’s coming or not and do the other jobs. So I’m asking for one person to be the point person for each family to help organize and recruit other helpers.

Hello!!
As you all know, I normally say a blessing before we eat.
This year I am planning on taking a few minutes to say a few words about the loss our family has endured this past year and have a toast in memory of Jon, Puff and Richard. I hope this is OK with everyone.
As My Mom mentioned above Jess and I are planning on bringing a bagel chip tray with dips. * Kristi, I’m very happy to hear that something will be said for the ones who are close on our minds but no longer with us. This will be our first christmas without Puff and it’s going to be very hard but with this amazing family that we have we will get though it! Can’t wait to see everyone:)
Amy
P.S we will be happy to help anywhere we are needed!!
If you have a list, put us on it for something that has to be done. I echo Amy’s comment on how hard this Christmas will be for the Butch Flowers’s family. We are strong and together, that is the important thing. Thanks to all for everything they are doing to keep this tradition going it means so much to us.
Thank you Kristi also for you thoughts.
See you all on Friday.
Somehow or other I had a typo—SURPRISE,SURPRISE,SURPRISE. I meant Saturday not Friday.
